> Unprocessed meat That's one major difference. The Paleo Diet recommends getting 55% of all calories from meat and seafood, but I don't eat any meat other than occasional fish (maybe 700-1,000 calories per week), and I do eat

My goal with this way of eating isn't just to reduce calories, but it's to create the an environment that feeds a healthy collection of microbes. Basically this: "a future step for researchers could be to identify probiotics

That's what I'm saying. :) I focus on creating the ideal environment for a healthy microbiome, and I don't think that people should wait around for a pill, because the most obvious answer is to change one's diet. People

Before I was into computers, I studied "primitive wilderness skills" for a long time.[1] The paleo diet doesn't match with what I studied about hunter gatherer cultures. I don't like it for a few reasons, so I avoid the

Paleo is high in animal products and low in carbs. My diet has no animal products except fish a couple of times per week, and I eat carbs -- just not refined ones. I don't eat most grains, but I do eat some brown rice, buckwheat, sweet

I mean refined sugar. I don't add sugars or other sweeteners to my food. The fiber in fruit reduces the effect of the sugar. See this article: https://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/07/31/making-the-case-fo.

The article mentions a probiotic pill. I think that the microbiome is the place to look for answers, but not with pills, just with better fuel. I managed to lose 70 pounds (from 215 pounds down to 145) and keep it off so far. At the moment,

Firefox took marketshare from IE when that was impossible. It could do it again with Chrome, if things change a bit. Some problems with Mozilla are that they don't do community management well any more. In the old days, there were amaz
